Myview - Gate Drill
Place two Tees or objects in the ground to create a gate going off to the right. Place one object to the right of the ball and just outside the golf ball, and place one object to the left of the golf ball and just inside the golf ball. This gives a visual for the path that the club will need to go through impact. If you are used to coming over the top, this path will look like it is pointed WAY to the right.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.900
this is my view of the gate drill so the gate drill is one of those tried and
2
00:00:04.900 --> 00:00:09.920
tested path drills so basically all I've got instead of my normal visual
3
00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:12.680
alignment station I've just got my target line so you can see roughly what I'm
4
00:00:12.680 --> 00:00:18.180
doing so now I'm going to take one object and I'm going to place it about
5
00:00:18.180 --> 00:00:22.560
eight inches to a foot behind the wall and then a few inches outside the target
6
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:25.760
line then I'm going to take another object and I'm going to put it eight
7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.840
inches to a foot towards the target and then inside the target line so now from
8
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:37.240
my visual perspective this creates a gate that I'm trying to get the club to
9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:42.080
swing out through now keep in mind that from the transition and the early
10
00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:47.080
extension section things like that I am going to try to get my art the club to
11
00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:50.240
go through there but that doesn't mean that my hands are going to be going
12
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:56.280
through there if my hands end up going through this movement as well we're
13
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:56.640
going
14
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:00.640
kind of out a weight or towards the golf ball as I'm making contact with it
15
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:05.680
I'll tend to get leading edge strikes and I'll tend to get it kind of heavy so
16
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:11.400
that body rotation is going to help me shallow the club what you can do this
17
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.320
with either nine to three style kind of like so and you'll see you can make
18
00:01:17.320 --> 00:01:17.520
this
19
00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:25.760
as tight a tolerance or as easy as you want but basically what happens is if
20
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:31.760
you have a normal or a common outside to in swing path then what'll happen is
21
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.280
if
22
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.360
I was to spin you can see that the club would make contact with one or both of
23
00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:41.760
these two head covers also what will typically happen is if I normally have
24
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.640
this pattern then in order to get the club swinging more to the outside what
25
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.000
I'll frequently do is I'll still use the arms in an outside-in pattern but I'll
26
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.260
just stand up to get the club to go like this so you want to keep in mind all
27
00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:56.400
the
28
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:02.520
good follow-through position stuff that we have on our site so that and the
29
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:07.880
transition shallowing kind of the Zorro loops the water bottle transition
30
00:02:07.880 --> 00:02:13.200
handle in the bucket all those things kind of work on how the arms are going to
31
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:21.040
get the club to swing from this inside out swing path while my body stays in
32
00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:25.120
good posture and good alignment so make sure that you're not cheating by
33
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.280
working vertically and standing up make sure that you are actually staying down
34
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.720
but still getting the club to swing through that gate and that'll help you a
35
00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:40.000
lot with your consistency of contact especially if you struggle with pulls
36
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.020
and slices.
